Lo decides, hoy te vas Tus maletas listas ya Te despides ya de mí Con un nudo en la garganta sonreí Pues se va mi corazón Mi alma entera en este adiós Por no atreverme a confesarte Y no demostrarte Que al marcharte sufro yo Y si me hubiera atrevido Hacer a un lado mi orgullo Decirte que te amo y me aterra pensar Que mañana al despertar No tendré a quien amar no, no podré vivir sin ti Recordando que en un tiempo fui feliz Tú serás lo más grande que he tenido en esta vida Y hoy me dejas y te vas de mí Y si me hubiera atrevido Hacer a un lado mi orgullo Decirte que te amo y me aterra pensar Que mañana al despertar No tendré a quien amar no, no podré vivir sin ti Recordando que en un tiempo fui feliz Tú serás lo más grande que he tenido en esta vida Y hoy me dejas y te vas de mí
